read William Cooper's "Behold a Pale Horse" c 1989 it talks all about the New World Order and Silent weapons for secret wars and all that conspiracy theory stuff. There is no question that people in power worry about the common man having too much power, so a cashless society , micro chip, information gathering is all very real to keep 6 billion people in check. It is a basic security issue if you ask me. What the heck do you think your Stop&Shop scan saver card does? Everyone gladly trades $12 or so off the grocery bill in exchange for whoever wants to look can see every single thing that you bought at S&S for as long as you've been using your card. Now that's scary Sh*T my friend. Talk about profiling; they can see that someone has been buying whole milk, Doritos, bacon, almost expired $1 off today steaks, poptarts and pickled pigs feet for the last 5 years and all of a sudden your health insurance premium goes way up. Someone else has been buying 300 cans of peaches and 50 pounds of dried beans a week and next thing you know the cops are raiding your joint in a time of crisis... What is surprising is that people either don't believe it or don't understand it. We are sheep, and unless you want to go to the prison that your tax dollars built I bet you'll stay that way because it's a trap that has been carefully set up. Look at IRAQ- that is a test, a fire drill, on what happens when a government gets overthrown.

Agree but it's not the government doing it but business.. You'd be suprised how much information I could gather on you.

Having said that Google is by far the single biggest threat to your privacy. They have massive amounts data on everyone and some of it can easily be tied together. Consider this, Google knows whats on every page on this site, nearly every page that is served by this site is served with an ad, Google can now associate your IP with what you're interested in. It only needs to tie the IP to a real person which is not all that hard if you already have cookie on your computer Google can use to track you... They know what you search for in their search engine, they got massive amounts of data that people upload to Gmail and other services etc.

The government "aint" got *censored* when it comes to tracking you compared to Google.

Google has saved every single search request since day one. That's a more useful data set than anything the NSA has.
